The Exploits Of Moominpappa (Moominpappa's Memoirs) - Plot & Excerpts
There's simply a sudden click! - and the situation is saved. Like this one, for instance.Here's the Booble, grumbling, bumbling and shouting at us, and here are we, looking rather foolish, and then I say (quite calmly): 'Hullo, uncle! Glad to see you again!' And of course this doesn't stop him shouting, but I don't mind at all. I just ask him whether his feet are sore still.'You have the nerve to ask me that!' roars Edward the Booble. 'You water-flea! You nightmare! Yes, my feet are sore! Yes, my behind is sore tool''Well, in that case,' I answer in a perfectly controlled voice, 'in that case the present we've brought you will suit you all the better. Three genuine eider-down Booble sleeping-bags!'(Rather smart, wasn't it?)'Sleeping-bags? Eider-down?' Edward the Booble said suspiciously and carefully felt our clouds with one foot. 'You're deceiving me again, aren't you, you dish-rags? I suppose they're stuffed with rocks...'He hauled the clouds up on the wharf and sniffed at them.'Sit down, Edward, please!' cried Hodgkins.
